I think it's not real.

https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/cgi-bin/search?type=3&name=L

"[email protected]" doesn't seem to be a real user.

There seems to be a lot of slope with no citations.

I think this submission should be flagged.



https://www.cmu.edu/swartz-center-for-entrepreneurship/educa... lists a certain "Logan Nye, MD". It doesn't give his email address, but I checked a few of the other people and their email addresses don't turn up with the search you linked either.

So I think the GitHub user logannye is most likely a real master's student at CMU, but that doesn't mean he isn't also mass-producing papers of questionable validity with AI.


It seems like he took a leave of absence from CMU to start his company (based on Linkedin)


you post this from an account created 3 weeks ago with karma 3 based on an email search?


The argument doesn't depend on the users karma

Plus the lack of scholar cites for any of the users papers is more damning than the email search - but they work together.


See my other post. The author has a TedX talk and papers with citations and co-authors, etc. While that wouldn't exclude a cloned profile, it certainly doesn't make him not real.
